I The Court of Appeal was occupier l ! this morning in. considering of an ap- > ' peal from the judgment of his Hon- , | our. the Chief Justice, directing that , j a writ of mandamus be issued to -1 members of the Post and Telegraph >1 Appeal board to bear and determine an I appeal by the respondent, Percy Regin- ■ j aid Sutherland, against the salary al- ; lotted to him fry the year ending 31st, i March, 1921. At the hearing this mor- ! ning Mr McGregor K.C. and the So-licitor-General appeared for the appol. ’ hints, and Air Myers for the respondent Sutherland. Mr MacGregor for appellant contended tlial the judgment of the Chief Justice was wrong, on the following grounds first, because the determination of the Secretary to allow officers other than respondent a larger increment. ' was not a determination of a superior officers relative to respondent's salary or promtion; second, because the amount of special increment was entirely in the discretion of the Secretary himself. There was no other method by which the appellant tribunal could fix the amount of any such increment; third, on account of delay, expense and hardship, which the view of the Chief Justice would involve; fourth, because the question involved relative to the grade of salary of an officer were confined entirely to the list of officers as provided by the Post and Telegraph Act. Argument is proceeding. UNEMPLOYED. AUCKLAND, July 13.
